This thing was big. This shot only represents around a quarter of the total floor space. |  |
Here's the machines dedicated to the 512 player Quake3 tournament. This shot was taken the night before when people were still registering. |

Surprisingly enough, I quickly met up with a couple of on-line buddies. Guerro (who I knew from FD&H's LAN party) and TrendKill that I frag with frequently on-line (first time to meet him in person). |  |
Here's a shot of Hathor sneakin in some frags when Mega's away playin with the camera. |
 |
Here's my first and last
round of the Q3 Tourney.
Guerro went really far, but Trendkill and I were eliminated in the first round. :-( Now that I actually play Quake3 on-line, I might could do better. ;-) |

Here's a shot I nabbed of
"the man" himself: John Carmack (the
"father" of Quake).
Behind him you can see "Ziod" (the big guy) who is famous for creating CTF. Prolly some other famous peeps in this shot, but I don't know. |
 |
Hathor is so brave. She
went right up to "the man" and said, "would you stand
with my husband for a picture?"
Ain't Hathor kewl!! |

While at Quakecon, I was part of a world record for "Most players on a single server". We got up to 122 before the server came to a crawl. |
 |
With that many players, you will experience some strange phenomenon like the "tele-fountain". This happens when too many peeps are spawning in for the teleport to handle. The result is a pretty fountain of "gibs". |  |
While we had this many people on the server, we did some funny stuff like build "human" structures such as this tower. |
 |
Here is a pyramid of players.
At one point, we even played with "no clipping" and formed a Quake symbol in the air, but it really didn't look that good. |
 |
What happens when you have 50
players in a big pile, and some yo-yo grabs the quad-damage, and fires
a rocket?
SPLAT! |
 |
Another shot of the awesome pyramid spalt. |  |
Here's the "official" Quakecon99 desktop wallpaper for your downloading pleasure. |
